Taste Rwanda on a three-hour Nyamirambo food walk with nine samples, local cafés, painted streets, and practical Kigali tips.
“I've been on about 5 different food tours all over the world and by far this one was the most disappointing, especially for the price. It's better to just go to a couple of restaurants and ask them for their traditional meals order it and enjoy your own company. There was almost no information shared about the dishes, why it was chosen or how its prepared. The guide was sweet but lacked enthusiasm and charisma unfortunately, felt like we were just interviewing her because it was like pulling teeth. I honestly thought the guides would have more indepth knowledge about the country and food (instead we were educating the guide).…”

Review of Kigali’s Nyungwe canopy walk and Ndambarare waterfall day trip, with practical advice on price, long drives, hiking, guides, and value.
“After 5hr drive from Kigali to the canopy. The initial cost was expensive £329.55, then there was a fee added for the park entrance plus a fee added for a guide which you must have £113.47. Then when you get to the canopy it's only about 50 metres in length, which was disappointing.”
